Abstract

The recognition of the importance of the early life in the development of children has lead to significant changes in care, education and health systems. Early intervention represents an intentional concern to interfere in the development of the children, especially those who, showing a real or potential disturbance, are in great danger of having their development affected. However, instead of finding solutions to specific problems or handicaps, the aim here is to see the child present and future development as a whole, as well as its family and background. This global approach demands that both therapeutical and educative cares always view the Person as a whole. The multiplicity of professionals and acquirements cannot lead to the fragmentation of the child individuality o its needs. On the other hand, a transdisciplinary perspective allows passing beyond the limitations of each specific subject training in order to meet this complex, yet one only child and its context. We intend to think about the features and potentialities of transdisciplinary work in early intervention, introducing examples on how it can be used on detection, evaluation, intervention and care of these children.

Keywords: early intervention; transdisciplinarity; intervention team.
